These details matter. ✍️ If your child’s doctor isn’t asking about your pregnancy with them, their birth story, or their early days of life, no matter how old they are, they are missing vital information.
For so many struggling kids, the root of their challenges can be traced back to their birth. We’re talking ADHD, Anxiety, ASD, Developmental Delays, SPD, and so much more.
To be clear, this post is not to shame any mom who had to utilize these interventions. It’s to bring light to the fact that our birth system has created an environment where interventions are standard protocol ➡️ Then …after the birth, the provider washes their hands and send mom and baby on their way as if nothing happened.
But, just in our office alone, over the last 7 years we’ve had THOUSANDS of consults play out like this 👇🏻
1) mom had a stressful pregnancy
2) birth was stressful or involved interventions
3) baby presents: not sleeping, fussy, constipated, refluxy ➡️ pediatrician says, don’t worry they’ll grow out of it. They don’t grow out of it.👇🏻
5) at 2yo: chronic ear infections/immune challenges, gut issues, speech delay, motor delays, sensory struggles
6) at 4yo: anxiousness, emotional dysregulation, hyperactivity, diagnoses of ADHD, SPD, ASD.
All of that is what we call “The Perfect Storm”⛈️
These early life stressors cause nerve dysregulation and dysfunction altering neurodevelopment.
We specialize in helping kids get out of the storm through pediatric nervous system care 💪🏼
OR, the better route would be to do all you can to support your nervous system as a mom through our prenatal nervous system care🤰, find a birth team that helps you actually prepare for labor and is on board with you wanting to avoid intervention unless absolutely necessary.
The latter option is helping so many moms have safer births and healthier babies! 👶
